Brillio is partnering with Ciena to co-launch the Blue Planet Enterprise Automation Suite (BPE), which includes innovative SaaS-based network automation solutions to help enterprise IT teams achieve operational simplicity, greater visibility, and patent-pending AIOps-driven control over their multi-vendor networks.
With the launch of BPE, Blue Planet and Brillio are delivering a suite of enterprise network automation products built to overcome the challenges faced by IT teams that operate increasingly complex networking environments using fragmented tools and manually dependent processes. The turnkey BPE automation suite, made up of Dynamic Configuration and Change Management (DCCM) and Intelligent NetOps (INO), enables rapid network configuration and change management, while intelligently optimizing for maximum performance and output.
Enterprise organizations can reduce manual intervention and reactive efforts required of administration staff while evolving to predictive operations that allow for effective Root-Cause Analysis (RCA) with patent-pending ML technology and forward-looking actions. With BPE, organizations can also gain end-to-end visibility and control of their multi-vendor network to help maximize productivity of employees, partners, and customers. In the end, enterprises can minimize operating costs and harness a holistic view of their network with AIOps-driven automation that enables identification and remediation of network issues in real time.
The BPE solution suite combines fault and performance monitoring with a set of AI-assisted capabilities to simplify, speed-up and automate network visibility and control—essentially, providing an accurate diagnosis of the root problems stemming from the most likely cause for failure or slow-down, guided remediation and automation of configuration and change management designed to eliminate the first 80% of network problems from the outset. The BPE solution set is offered as SaaS-based services to simplify the evaluation, rollout and use of these capabilities.
“Our partnership with Brillio underscores our shared commitment to help enterprises digitally transform their businesses and unlock new revenue opportunities,” said Rick Hamilton, Senior VP of Blue Planet, a division of Ciena. “We are combining Blue Planet’s heritage in Intelligent Network Automation with Brillio’s leadership in digital transformation to create open, software-driven network architectures. Brillio will continue to be a key partner as we accelerate our initiatives in DevOps, SaaS platform offerings, and R&D investments.”
Blue Planet and Brillio will co-invest in bringing the new Network Automation Suite to the enterprise market. The partnership combines the strategic advantages of both firms, with Blue Planet leveraging its software portfolio and extensive track record in the service provider market, and Brillio bringing to the table its domain expertise in product design and engineering, as well as deep and diversified experience in the enterprise market. Brillio recently launched a Brillio-branded BPE microsite designed to establish market awareness and help Brillio customers and prospects to learn more about the new automation suite.
“Our relationship with Blue Planet clearly demonstrates our key capabilities and leadership across Product Development (UX/UI), SaaS, and Network Automation. Together, we look forward to launching innovative cloud and network automation solutions to help businesses accelerate and scale their digital transformation initiatives.” said Raj Mamodia, CEO of Brillio.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ...

Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...

The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
